The Oracle Enterprise Manager 'Change Manager' does a good job of schema comparisons, and has an easy point-and-click interface that shields you from having to know what you're doing ;-)

The downside is that it can be a pain to get oem set up and working. I've never tried it's more advanced functions to propagate changes between databases, but capturing baselines for later comparison is nice.

I found the earlier versions buggy, slow and painfull to use, but version 2.2.0 under Oracle 8.1.7 seems to work OK.

Hope this helps.

Years ago, I found a script on Metalink that worked decently after a few bug fixes. It was written by Ottar Sorland for use with Oracle 7.3. I still occasionally use it and can send my patched (but still not perfect) version if you need it.

Lately, I've been using a TOAD feature (version 7.2 with DBA option) that works much better. I haven't tried the OEM tool.

Hi!

Does anybody out there have a script that allows me to compare two schemas in two different databases (i.e. development and production db)?

This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.

Thanks,
Helmut
